Late Racing.

The following were *he successftil horsemen at the Auckland Spring fixture : C Brown (3), E. £. Brown (2), J. Buchanan (.2), and McFlynn, McMillan, Ryan, Decry, Brady, Chiplin,. Tutchen, Trigger and Futcher one each.

McFlynn had the supporters of Hautere on tenterhooks in the early stages of the Onehunga Steeplechase. At one time he was fully a furlong behind, but the gallant little chestnut caire with a great run at the end. The. weight, however, told its tale, and the lightly-weigh ted Rangitane scored.

Black Northern still continues hisunruly behaviour when racing. On. Saturday he ran like an arrant rogue and could not be induced to gallop in the Manakau Hurdle Eace. There only seems one remedy—a long spell,, till he forgets his tricky ways.

Four-year-olds have won the NewZealand Cup six years in succession, but singular to state, prior to 1907, from Tasman's year to 1883, when the race took that name, only two of that age had succeeded in that interval. Eight in all have won over three-years-old, seven five-years-old, four six-years-olds and five aged ones have scored during the past 29 years.

Bleriot, the winner of the Great Northern Guineas, paid one of theshortest priced dividends that has beea handed out to the public for quite a long time. The supporters of her stable mate, Mery Roe, also lost money stable mate, Merry Roe, also lost money on the second divvy.

T. A. Williams, late of Ellerslie, has won most with the members of the , team he took to Sydney : Don Quex has scored three times, Monoplane and Master Dix twice each, while the topnotcher, Sir Artegal, has yet to show the Australians his quality.

No one will begrudge that good sportswoman, Mr 3E. A. Lindsay, her win with Royal Soult in the City Handicap last week. Mrs Lindsayhas stuck to her little champion, through all sorts of adverse circumstances.

Coromandel had a credit of tw<v seconds at the late Auckland Spring fixture. These were gained by sheer merit and gameness. In the CityHandicap the Golden Eose gelding came with a great run over the last furlong.
